15 Years of ENERGY STAR

Hines and ENERGY STAR Celebrate 15-Year Partnership

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program includes an energy performance rating system for commercial buildings. In 1999, Hines became the first international and privately held real estate company in the world to commit to ENERGY STAR. Since then, Hines has labeled over 295 buildings representing more than 121 million square feet.

Hines’ specific ENERGY STAR strategy and initiatives are led by the ENERGY STAR Management Group (ESMG). This team, formed in 2001, consists of engineering leaders from Hines’ central headquarters and every U.S. Hines business region, who have developed special networks with their engineering colleagues to support firm-wide energy conservation goals.
